Current Muhurtas

In any daytime there are certain periods, which have special meaning.

Yama Ghantaka

{[kalams.yg.start]} - {[kalams.yg.end]}

Rishi Vasishtha: "Yama Ghantaka should always be avoided in any Muhurta for auspicious (Shubha) activity". It is considered that any activity (especially travelling) started during the period of Yama Ghantaka pushes the one towards to death.

Abhijeet Muhurta

{[kalams.am.start]} - {[kalams.am.end]}

Abhijit Muhurta is one of the most auspicious and powerful criteria for initiating all types of works.

Brahma Muhurta

{[kalams.bm.start]} - {[kalams.bm.end]}

Brahma Muhurta is optimal for waking up as well as any activity connected to spiritual practices (such as Hatha Yoga, Dhyana (meditation), etc), creating, planning, projections etc.

Gulikā Kalām

{[kalams.gk.start]} - {[kalams.gk.end]}

According to Jyotish knowledge Gulika Kalam is a very negative (Ashubha) period of time every day that should be shunned for all auspicious and beneficial activities.

Rahu Kalām

{[kalams.rk.start]} - {[kalams.rk.end]}

According to Jyotish knowledge Rahu Kaalam is a very negative (Ashubha) period of time every day that should be shunned for all auspicious and beneficial activities.

Rashi Drishti (sign aspects)

Other settings

Graha

Graha (if translated from Sanskrit) means "the one that controls". The physical bodies of Grahas in our world are planets. But the physical body of each Graha is only a small fraction of the whole concept of the term "Graha" as the planets representing Grahas are only terminals or visual forms. Grahas are also Devatas (Deva is the Sanskrit term for male-deity, Devi - the Sanskrit term for "female-deity), which are the sources of energies that structure everything in our world. With the right use of knowledge about those or other influences that Grahas have, the one can create a Kundali (horoscope) at any object and get a specific picture and knowledge about it.

Rashi

The word "Rashi" can be translated from Sanskrit as "the beam of sparkling constellation" and means the zodiacsign. Each Rashi, being a specific zone in space and time, is responsible for certain areas of life for each person on planet Earth.

Nakshatra

Nakshatras are 27 lunar constellations that in Vedic mythology were considered as 27 wives of Chandra (Moon). According to the legend Chandra was supposed to visit each Nakshatra in strict order, without giving preference to any wife.

Simha

Leo

Simha (Leo), the fifth sign of the zodiac, is symbolized by a lion and is characterized
as masculine, fiery and fixed. The significance of the lion symbol is
understandable when we realize that the primary quality of this radiation is
the Divine urge towards procreation. This is the stage wherein the Cosmic
Man darts forth his creative thread of Primordial Light into the labyrinth of
chaotic matter, establishing different force centers which lead ultimately to
the individualization of man. At this stage the spiritual principles transform
themselves into material forms. Simha (Leo) represents creativity, the articulation of
the Divine Nature in man; it is Divine Nature objectified.

Fire is the Divine symbol of penance, creativity, and purification, but it is
also an element of Nature which cannot adapt itself to anything else. Fire
cannot exist in active form in anything else. Simha (Leo) is self-centered, aspiring,
ambitious, and arrogant; it is fierce in action, calculating in sexual
encounters, choosy in social relationships. Etymologically, Simha means
"the protector of its followers," and those who align themselves with this
sign will have much natural force at their command. One supreme quality of Simha (Leo) is its suddenness, aggression and frontal attack.

Surya (Sun) owns this sign but no planet is exalted or debilitated here. There is a
grace and glow radiating from the Sun. No force which furthers the
evolutionary impulse by procreating, or by protecting and leading its
followers, can ever experience restrictions on its capacity. This is why no
planet is debilitated here. Simha (Leo) is one of the most mysterious signs of the
zodiac.

Shukla Dwitiya's nature is Mangala Prada, which can be interpreted as "one that augurs auspiciousness". It's good for following works: Upanayana, Deva Pratishta (installation of God's/deity's idol or picture), all Paushtik (developmental) and Manglik (the word "Mangala" can be translated from sanskrit as "auspicious") works, Alankara (ornamentation), ornament making and wearing, starting and ending fasts, activity related to house, government related activity, treasury, army, travelling, music, art, sculpture, marriage, etc.
